Roller Forks
Cargo Loading
Fork-Co designs and manufactures forklift Roller Forks for Cargo Loading with custom configurations,
with Lease & Rental Options, tailored to your exact application and equipment needs.
Roller Forks are specialized forklift fork sleeves designed to move smooth-bottom cargo pallets quickly and efficiently using integrated conveyor rollers. Commonly used in air cargo, freight forwarding, and military transport operations, these forks allow operators to transfer loads directly onto roller-bed aircraft floors and cargo systems with reduced manual handling and improved efficiency.
Built with heavy-duty all-steel construction, Roller Forks are designed for fast-paced loading environments where durability and smooth load transfer are critical. The integrated roller deck allows pallets to move easily across the forks during loading and unloading while maintaining controlled handling throughout the process.
Fork-Co Roller Forks are custom-built to match your fork size and spacing requirements and are engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding cargo handling applications.
Description & Usage
Roller Forks are designed to handle aluminum aircraft pallets and other smooth-bottom cargo containers used in freight and military transport operations. Built as fork sleeves with integrated conveyor rollers, they allow loads to move smoothly on and off the forks during loading and unloading.
- Designed for aircraft cargo loading and freight transfer
- Built for smooth-bottom cargo containers and aluminum pallets
- Heavy-duty all-steel construction
- Conveyor roller deck allows smooth load movement
- Secured to forks using self-locking heel pins
- Easily installed and removed when needed
- Permanently lubricated rollers require no routine maintenance
These forks are commonly used by freight forwarders, military operations, and cargo handling facilities where fast load transfer is critical. Loads are typically fed onto the forks from conveyor systems or roller beds and then transferred directly onto aircraft cargo decks using slight mast tilt for controlled movement.
Industries & Applications
Roller Forks are used in specialized cargo handling environments where smooth pallet transfer and efficient loading are essential. Common applications include:
- Air cargo and freight operations
- Military logistics and transport
- Airport cargo terminals
- Freight forwarding facilities
- Aircraft ground support operations
These forks help improve loading speed, reduce manual handling, and support efficient cargo movement in demanding transport environments.

Roller forks are Fork Sleeves having conveyer rollers on deck. They are used to handle aircraft pallets made of aluminum and load them into cargo aircraft. Usually loaded by being fed from a roller bed or conveyor string onto the forks. They are unloaded by the forks being slightly tilted to roll the pallet onto the cargo deck rollers. The roller forks are retained to the forks by a heel locking pin. The width of each roller fork is approximately 21 inches and the length typically about 84”. The pallets handled are smooth bottomed without deck boards. Roller forks are usually rated as 5,000 LB per fork at a load center equal to 50% of its length.
What we need to know:
- The pallet type and dimensions
- Load dimensions and weight
- The fork length, thickness and width
- Forklift make, model and capacity rating from the truck’s capacity data plate
